Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk - This retelling of the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk is adorably illustrated by Niamh Sharkey. This version is well written (of course) and very similar to the one I was read as a child. I enjoyed reading this to my daughter who did not enjoy it as much as I did because, as she informed me, she likes "Jack, his mom, the old woman, the hen and the harp, but NOT the giant! " When we were finished, she looked at the pictures, gave the book back to me and said "here mommy, you can have this for one of your samples". I suppose she can't love them all!

I wanted to update this post, because a short while after I wrote it, my daughter rediscovered this book, and we have been reading it non-stop ever since. It has become one of her favorites.

If you enjoy the illustrations of Niamh Sharkey as much as I do, be sure to check out our 12x16 Jack and the Beanstalk print.
